Background....... Jonathan(Jon) and Andrea(Annie) Frykholm, began Beaver Works Furniture over 33 years ago out of a passion for working with the organic characteristics of native woods and a keen interest in authentic Western and "rustic" furniture design.

The Cabin Collection, (a.k.a. Beaver Works), is a collection of original, classic Western and rustic furniture, designed by Jon and Annie and crafted personally by Master Craftsman, Jonathan Frykholm with assistance from their two sons.

We truly enjoy the opportunity of working hand in hand with our customers, listening to their specific needs, and designing custom inspired furniture pieces. One of our greatest passions in life is to recapture a portion of our romantic Western Heritage, and continue the rich tradition of classic western furniture design started by others so many years ago.

Classic western design is known for its simple designs, with special attention to detail, using native raw materials and often incorporating art that connects us to the land and tells a story of something familiar, or something grand.

Over the years we have become keenly aware that good design always begins with an intimate understanding of a location, a sense of place, a connection to the landscape, and an understanding of being part of a greater story.

As we create furniture and art, it is with the unique purpose of helping our clients create spaces that speak to the human spirit, and say “I belong here.” We are passionate as we work on a project to help our clients see their vision come to life.

One of the very satisfying aspects of our work is the delight of finding and working with the raw materials. The pieces we create often feature the fascinating trails insects leave behind as they burrow under the bark. In addition, scars left by moose and elk create beautiful weathered character that is pleasing both to sight and touch. Our goal as we create each piece is to bring forth the unique character that nature has provided.

It is also very important to us to be environmentally conscious. For us, this means harvesting only dead trees and removing them from the forest leaving a minimal impact and very little trace that we were ever there. For years we have exclusively used water based stains and have recently begun using an environmentally friendly non-toxic beeswax/mineral oil finish whenever possible on our furniture and art pieces. We feel it is very important we all do our part to reduce waste, conserve resources, and care for our planet.

Our intent is to create lasting pieces with classic aesthetics and structural integrity to stand the tests of time, and become treasured family heirlooms for generations to come.

Thank You for visiting our website, and we truly look forward to working to help you envision a place, a space, and bring your vision to life.
